    Orme Fitz-Siward, to whom Albert de Gresley, third Norman Baron of Manchester, gave with his daughter Emma in marriage one carucate of land in Eston, thence called Orm Eston, now Urmston, besides a knight's fee in Dalton, Parbold, and Wrightington.

    "...Orme Fitz-Ailward, who is named in the Inquisition ...as having received Estone (afterwards Ormestone and Urmston) in marriage with Emma daughter of Albert de Gredlè the elder, and as having previously and similarly received from him Dalton, Parbold, and Wrightington, which are expressly specified in the Testa Nevill to be held by Robert Fitz-Henry's descendant Robert de Lathom in one passage, and in another by the heir of Orme above-mentioned, thus fixing Robert de Lathom as that heir. It further appears almost certain that the said Orme inherited Ormskirk (afterwards possessed by Robert Fitz-Henry) from Ormus Magnus..."

    Ormerod says it is "absurd" that the visitation of 1613 and "old genealogists" (and Baines, above) make Orme the father of Sir Thomas Ashton, Warden of the Cinque Ports, and trace Ashton of Ashton from him.
